Patent EP-0811435-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NEUSCHUETZ EBERHARD DR
IPC: B21B39/32
Filed: 1997-06-03
Abstract: The method concerns presetting of the control element positions in a reversing cold-rolling stand or section for the first pass of a strip from a new coil. Proceeding from strip planarity considerations, the control element positions are set according to the corresponding data of the first pass of a reference coil which is chosen from 'n' previously rolled strip coils and whose reference data best agrees with the target data of the new coil. The new positions of individual control elements include alterations depending on differences between the reference and target data. The control element positions in a reversing rolling stand, or in a rolling section after a stoppage, are based on the corresponding data referring to the situation immediately before the stoppage. They include alterations depending on differences between the reference and target data. Alteration of the control element positions is carried out on the basis of rolling gap model or a process parameter system. This includes consideration of certain influences of the planarity and rolling force data. The strip thickness is predetermined by specification of a rolling force or roll setting adapted to the reference data (which covers a certain time interval) concerning the rolling stand or section. This data includes the rolling force, gap setting, entry thickness, exit thickness and/or strip tension.

Abstract: A cellular telephone (10) incorporates the
electronics for implementing both a cellular telephone
function (46) and a smartcard function (45). This allows
the electronics to be protected from damage by the
housing associated with the cellular telephone and also
decreases the likelihood that the smartcard will be lost
or stolen. The cellular telephone 10 also includes an RF
interface (40) for wireless communication between the
smartcard and an external reader. Further, by making use
of the cellular telephone function, information
associated with the smartcard function may be updated or
modified via existing cellular telephone infrastructure.

Abstract: A technique of stabilizing the output of an
acoustooptic modulator. A laser passes a light beam
through the acoustooptic modulator. A driver circuit
connects to a drive electrode of the acoustooptic
modulator. RF generators deliver drive power at a first
carrier frequency and compensation power at second and
third carrier frequencies, one higher and the other lower
than the first carrier frequency. The driver circuit
modulates the drive power and the compensation power such
that compensating acoustic energy induced in the
acoustooptic modulator complements drive acoustic energy
and the spatial content of the drive acoustic energy.
The combined drive power and the complementing
compensating power maintain the spatial thermal energy
distribution inside the acoustooptic modulator
substantially constant. Consequently, beam steering and
thermal ellipticity are stabilized and remain
substantially constant throughout the operating range of
the modulator.

Abstract: A locking differential includes annular friction pack clutch assemblies (74,76) for
normally connecting the drive shaft of a vehicle to a pair of axially aligned driven axle
shafts (70,72). A pair of clutch members (62,64) are biased apart by a plurality of spring assemblies
including a locking pin (108) colinearly arranged relative to a helical spring (110). At one end, the
locking pin is slidably mounted in a corresponding pin bore (104) contained in one face of a
first clutch member, the other end of the locking pin extending within an oversized spring
bore (106) contained in the opposing face of a second clutch member. The helical spring (110) is
mounted in the bottom of the oversized bore and is compressed by the pin when the pin is
releasably retained in an extended operable position by a removable fastener member,
thereby to compress the friction packs between the clutch members and the adjacent
casing internal wall surfaces. When one axle shaft overruns the other by a given
amount, the associated friction clutch is disengaged to disconnect the overrunning shaft
from the differential.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for generating a
route from a source location to a destination in a
vehicle navigation system. Initially, the system
generates a first partial route from the source location
to the end of the first partial route. The system then
determines whether a second manoeuvre is within a first
distance from a first manoeuvre at the end of the first
partial route. Where the second manoeuvre is within the
first distance, the system increases the cost associated
with the second manoeuvre. The system then generates a
second partial route from the end of the first partial
route to the destination, generation of the second
partial route being based at least in part on the cost
associated with the second manoeuvre.

Title: Synchronization in a multipath spread spectrum communication receiver
Inventor: KONDO TAKAYUKI
IPC: H04B1/7115
Filed: 1998-05-04
Abstract: A spread spectrum communication receiver
includes a spread code generating section, a receiver, a
searcher, a tracking section, a path capturing/holding
section, a correlation demodulation path selection
section, a rake section, and a decoder section. The
searcher obtains search paths separated by one chip or
more. The tracking section tracks tracking paths
separated by one or more chip on the basis of the
demodulated signal and the spread code, and obtains the
correlation levels of the paths. The path
capturing/holding section compares the search paths with
the tracking paths to capture/hold paths, provides
backward protection in detecting the coincidence between
paths and forward protection in detecting the loss of a
path, and classifies path captured/held states of
tracking paths into a complete incoincident state, a
forward protection state, a complete protection state,
and a forward protection state, thereby obtaining a path
state. The correlation demodulation path selection
section selects paths to be subjected to correlation
demodulation on the basis of the path state and the
correlation levels. The rake section detects
demodulated paths, and performs rake synthesis of the
demodulated paths. The decoder section decodes the
demodulated data and outputs the decoded data.

Abstract: A fast data transfer collection system using message authentication and contactless RF proximity card technology in non-contact storage and retrieval applications. The system is generally comprised of Host computers (application computer systems), Target radio frequency (RF) terminals, and a plurality of portable Tags (“smart” or “proximity” cards). A Host provides specific application functionality to a Tag holder, with a high degree of protection from fraudulent use. A Target provides control of the RF antenna and resolves collisions between multiple Tags in the RF field. A Tag provides reliable, high speed, and well authenticated secure exchanges of data/information with the Host resulting from the use of a custom ASIC design incorporating unique analog and digital circuits, nonvolatile memory, and state logic. Each Tag engages in a transaction with the Target in which a sequence of message exchanges allow data to be read(written) from(to) the Tag. These exchanges establish the RF communication link, resolve communication collisions with other Tags, authenticate both parties in the transaction, rapidly and robustly relay information through the link, and ensure the integrity and incorruptibility of the transaction. The system architecture provides capabilities to ensure the integrity of the data transferred thus eliminating the major problem of corrupting data on the card and in the system. The architecture and protocol are designed to allow simple and efficient integration of the transaction product system into data/information processing installations.
